Bentley still being considered?

Numerous teams interested in Bentley
The News
28-year-old centers with two Pro Bowls on their resume are not easy to find, so even though he has not played in two seasons, LeCharles Bentley is being looked at by at least 8 teams, according to NFL.com.
Our View
The website reports that Buffalo, Cincinnati, Miami, Oakland, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Francisco and Seattle are interested. He seems to be healthy, but after missing two years, it will be interesting to see if he can return to form.

This was posted yesterday from Fanball.com. I don't know to what degree this "interest" is though. It could just be a phone call for all we know.

Adam Schefter on NFL Total Access last night said that he would not be surprised if he ended up on any team in the AFC North or the St. Louis Rams. This would be a nice pickup. Not sure what type of price tag he would come with.

For a vet contract with incentives...Done! The guy made the Pro-Bowl at G & C. Sign him to push Mahan at least. If he plays better than Mahan send him packing. 2 years not playing is both good & bad. Don't forget...2 years less wear! What would it hurt to add some more competition through camp.

What about Hartwig? As long as if it doesn't work out in camp the Steelers don't have much salary or signing bonus to eat. On the other hand, if he did work out we'd have a lot of cash tied up in the center opsition between Mahan, Hartwig and Bentley.

On the $ Pap. Mahan would have to go, and that ain't happening this yr. Too much of a cap hit.
